A member asked:

Can a cavity spread to other teeth. if my two teeth has cavity can it impact others?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

A cavity does not spread to other teeth, however, whatever resulted in cavity in one tooth is also affecting other teeth and all of your teeth are at risk, It would be prudent to see a dentist at your earliest,

The acids produced by the bacteria in one carious lesion can de-mineralize the surface of an adjacent tooth that is near the lesion.
